Day 692. Today I had only one picture, and it's no good. It was another tough day regarding them sleeping, especially Emmy. I walked him back to his bed numerous times again in the middle of night, again and again and again, and then he got up around 5 am, waking his sister up not long after. At least Sammy slept longer today, but breakfast was still early.

Which is why we sat down for lunch at 11 am. They were all tired from their early morning. That didn't change that nap time was a disaster, as all three were awake, which never works. They just play and rile each other up instead of going to sleep. It was simply exhausting, and I seemed more tired than they were. It was 1:15 before the last one fell asleep, and not long after that the first one woke up. It was just a weird afternoon. And it was after 3 pm before we started feeding them their afternoon snack, and after 4 pm before they were done, and I walked downstairs with them. Having only just over an hour left until 5:30, I went upstairs to work for that remaining hour.

Randy came upstairs before I was done getting their food ready, because they were so cranky. At 6 pm we sat down to feed them, and they did not eat everything. Even though they were so tired, they did not go to sleep right away, but I stayed by their side, which at least prevented Emmy from hopping in and out of bed, and he fell asleep first. Tammy has a runny nose now, while the cough is getting better, but she's sleeping better than she did yesterday.

Now it's 11 pm, I've done all my cleanup, and I intend to head to bed soon.
